Alert latency

How fast we are. Every figure below is measured from the moment the Supreme Court posts an opinion to supremecourt.gov to the moment we first push it out — no estimates, no rounding in our favor.

Methodology

On opinion-issue mornings we poll supremecourt.gov directly, about once a minute. "Court publish"is the moment our scraper first observes a new opinion on the Court's slip opinion list; "alerted" is the moment we first push the decision out across any channel — email, X, Bluesky, Mastodon, Threads, Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok. Decisions that CourtListener surfaced before our scraper saw them are excluded.
